Smooth-top electric ranges are popular options with those homeowners seeking to increase their counter space and hoping to have an easier job cleaning their range. Smooth glass or ceramic ranges do have their advantages, but they are not without their share of problems. Smooth-top electric ranges typically remain hot for long time after they are shut off. This can cause problems for homeowners that are used to the relatively rapid-cooling nature of traditional electric and gas ranges. They can also be damaged by falling pots and pans and are costly to have repaired. While they are easier to clean, they cannot be scrubbed using an abrasive cleaner, and specialized cleaners are typically recommended by the manufacturer.

The toga, a distinctive garment of Ancient Rome, was a roughly semicircular cloth, between 12 and 20 feet in length, draped over the shoulders and around the body. It was usually woven from white wool, and was worn over a tunic. In Roman historical tradition, it is said to have been the favoured dress of Romulus, Rome's founder; it was also thought to have been worn by both sexes, and by the citizen-military. As Roman women gradually adopted the stola, the toga was recognised as formal wear for Roman citizen men. Originally, women wore togas as well, but after the 2nd century BC, the toga was worn exclusively by men, and women were expected to wear the stola. At that point, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to wear a toga; wearing the male garment was associated with prostitution and adultery.

Crocs, which were named one of the 50-ugliest shoes of all time by The Cut, almost went bankrupt several years ago after failing to flood the market with its rubbery soles. Their finances have largely now stabilized, thanks in no small part to the company's recent success in the German market. Crocs have been in the top 100 best-selling footwear items on Amazon Germany for 2,069 days and counting, longer than any other shoe item. Boulder-based Crocs included Germany among the five major markets it will now seek to focus on as it scales back its physical store footprint. In fact, the Europe was Crocs' only region to see positive revenue in constant-currency terms in FY2016Q1; unit sales there were up about 25%.
